'Distressed Property' and the Mortgagee's Right of Sale

More often than not it is a property purchased by the client as an investment, often immediately before the recession began.
Typically the market value of the property has eroded significantly since the date of purchase, sometimes to the point where the client’s equity in the property is negative. However, for a variety of reasons, the client has not sold the property, or not been able to sell.
